Meg speaks from a POV that we can never understand. Whether you see misogyny or not isn't the point. She does. That’s it. Just as from my perspective (being Latino) I see racism where other folks won't. A little news flash there is quite a bit of it in comics (see JMS' Superman).
So the best we can do is listen and respect her viewpoint and understand that there is now way we can feel how she feels about it.
I think I've listened to everyone's viewpoint, and have a differing opinion. I don't need to cower in a corner of an argument because I'm not female, and should be afraid that my opinion would offend a woman.
Nick I respect your opinion 100% and you have a right to voice it. I believe that there are certain thing that are highly emotional that facts and figures aren't able to explain. Life expierence dictates how we veiw a lot of thing and I believe that while you may be able to empathize you can never truly understand. That's just how I feel.
That being said I do like TKJ...but I can see why others don't like it.
